00:00:01,319 --> 00:00:05,520
hello this is Tyler with designco and in

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,039
this video I will be showing you a

3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,759
step-by-step guide to making a laser cut

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,840
and hand stitched wallet the design is

5
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:14,759
available as a free SVG file that can be

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,960
loaded into a laser cutter or as a

7
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,880
standard print PDF file that can be

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,760
printed on a home printer all the

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,038
materials and tools used in this project

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,039
are linked in the video's description

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,120
I use Autodesk Fusion to design my

12
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:37,760
wallets it helps me bring my ideas to

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,480
life with precision and creativity using

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,239
its powerful 3D modeling and

15
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:44,718
visualization tools I can design complex

16
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:46,640
or simple shapes easily and efficiently

17
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,680
and the userfriendly interface allows me

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,680
to make sure every detail is perfect

19
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:28,439
I break the design down into individual

20
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,960
panels to ensure that everything lines

21
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:32,520
up properly this this step is crucial to

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,759
ensuring that all the panels fit

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,679
together as intended before breaking it

24
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:38,920
down I create the entire design in one

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,720
layer first making sure that all the

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,640
components are placed correctly and

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,640
proportionately this ensures that the

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,320
final product will have a cohesive and

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,320
professional look

30
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,800
after designing the wallet and Autodesk

31
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:36,360
Fusion 360 I saved the design as a dxf

32
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,560
file and imported into lightburn a laser

33
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,480
cutting software this allows me to bring

34
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,840
my Fusion Design to life using the

35
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,599
Precision of a laser cutter the process

36
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,720
of transferring the design from Fusion

37
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:48,839
to lightburn is straightforward ensuring

38
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,840
a smooth transition from design to final

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,840
product

40
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:01,319
I use the laser cutter to cut out the

41
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:03,679
panels from my wallets but it actually

42
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,518
takes longer than traditional methods

43
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,400
despite this it speeds up the assembly

44
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:09,840
process and ensures that all panels fit

45
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,159
together as intended however the laser

46
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,920
leaves sit in the thread holes which I

47
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,959
clean up by running a needle with thread

48
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,519
through the holes it takes additional

49
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:20,918
time overall using the laser cutter has

50
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:25,280
its advantages and disadvantages but the

51
00:04:20,918 --> 00:04:25,280
end result is a well-made wallet

52
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,960
you

53
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,960
I use LOL F50 laser which I purchased

54
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,639
from Amazon it's an affordable option

55
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,440
with a 5wt laser it works well for my

56
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,960
needs however a more powerful laser

57
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,240
would improve the process and make it

58
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,239
even better

59
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:05,280
I prefer to hand Stitch the wallet

60
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,919
without the leather stitching Pony

61
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,559
though I used it in making the video for

62
00:07:06,919 --> 00:07:11,318
ease of filming however I find that hand

63
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,039
stitching without the pony gives me more

64
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:15,080
control over the sewing

65
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:16,800
process although there may be some

66
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,240
distractions in the background like the

67
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,520
kids making spaghetti I focus on sewing

68
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,879
the wallet to make sure it's of the

69
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,878
highest quality

70
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840
I omitted the steps of cleaning out the

71
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:46,240
thread holes and skying the leather in

72
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,198
the video skying involves slining out

73
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,199
the leather to prevent bulkiness in the

74
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:51,199
wallet

75
00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:33,039
n

76
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,800
just the heads up this may look like I'm

77
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,600
lightning fast at stitching but in real

78
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,959
life I'm more of a slown steady wins

79
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,519
race kind of Stitcher don't be folded by

80
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:18,518
the Speedy video

81
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:50,199
get ready to Unleash Your in or

83
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,279
process first give those edges a good

84
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,719
bevel then round them off with sandpaper

85
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:59,399
start rough and work your way to

86
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,360
smoother grits next grab your trusty

after finishing with my leather Edge

00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,880
my biceps and give it a good workout

98
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,120
